Episode 9
In this episode, we step into day three of John’s Gospel—where discipleship begins with a question, identity is reshaped, and bold confession lays the foundation for the church.
John the Baptist points his followers to Jesus. Two disciples follow, asking not for a sermon, but for a place to stay.
We unpack what it meant to follow a rabbi in the first century, explore the depth of the Greek word menō, and trace Simon’s journey from fisherman to Peter the Rock.
And we connect it all to Caesarea Philippi—where Peter’s confession becomes a spiritual invasion in enemy territory.
